    Put him on an old style record keeping system… Fiche and Chips.

    I still have a portable fiche reader. Just can’t find any fiche to read.

    Based on the smile, that cat’s looking pretty Chipper.

    Yep, like K9Crew said, microfiche…miniature film rolls…had it when working in medical records. Pain the rear, slipped around all over the place when I tried to get it onto the magnifiying machine to read it. Don’t miss it a bit!

    Scoonz…. If you’re not in the US, you also may not recognise that the pun is not just about the CA Highway Patrol itself,
    but about a well-remembered 1970’s-80’s TV series caled C.Hi.P.S, featuring two CHP motorcycle officers, originally Ponch and Jon.


    So instead of getting his cat “chipped,” ie. getting a microchip implanted, he got him turned into a television character,


    And Bruno, if I never see another micro-fiche, it’ll be far too soon.

    For awhile, our entire library card catalog, plus all the real estate plat maps, etc, for the county, were only available on large sheets of micro-fiche that you had to move around by hand under the reader, in all directions, to scan…
    a process so dizzying and nauseating I had to give up both.

    @Susan, @Bruno, and others – about a year and a half ago we got rid of ours finally! I thought I was the only that scanning and move those plates around made dizzy! No I don’t miss it!
